The LiberationSans-*.ttf files are the unmodified upstream release of Liberation Sans 1.07.4: their name table reports Version 1.07.4 and points at the Liberation Fonts license, and their glyph count, cmap coverage and advance widths match the upstream 1.07.4 build exactly.

That version is licensed under the GPL v2 with the Liberation font exception, but LICENSE_LIBERATION contains the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which only applies starting with Liberation 2.0.

So replace it with the License.txt and COPYING files shipped with the 1.07.4 release, and document in the README where the fonts come from and what needs to be updated when they're replaced.

It fixes #21746.
